It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words for our e-bulletin. At the onset I would like to thank the
last years editors and congratulate the newly selected editors for the current year.
Our first consideration is always in the best interest of the students. Our goal is to promote academic
excellence and continuous improvement.
I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners are
supported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learning
and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeting
the needs of all students.
It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order to
achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and look
forward to watching as you put your mark on the profession in the years ahead.
The call of the time is to progress, not merely to move ahead. Our progressive Management is looking
forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken in
this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teachers
are committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and play
the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.
The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positive
challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holistic
needs of our students.
I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of the
opportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.
Excellence in Education is not a final destination, it is a continuous walk. I welcome you to join us on
this path.
My best wishes to all.

For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health
Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the
late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate
sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were
never told what disease they were suffering from or of its
seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for bad blood,
their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all. The
data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the
men, and they were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the
ravages of tertiary syphiliswhich can include tumors, heart
disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. As I see it, one
of the doctors involved explained, we have no further interest in
these
patients
until
they
die.
Using Human Beings as Laboratory Animals
The true nature of the experiment had to be kept from the subjects
to ensure their cooperation. The sharecroppers' grossly
disadvantaged lot in life made them easy to manipulate. Pleased at
the prospect of free medical carealmost none of them had ever
seen a doctor beforethese unsophisticated and trusting men
became the pawns in what James Jones, author of the excellent
history on the subject, Bad Blood, identified as the longest non
therapeutic experiment on human beings in medical history.
The study was meant to discover how syphilis affected blacks as
opposed to whitesthe theory being that whites experienced
more neurological complications from syphilis whereas blacks
were more susceptible to cardiovascular damage. How this
knowledge would have changed clinical treatment of syphilis is
uncertain. Although the PHS touted the study as one of great
scientific merit, from the outset its actual benefits were hazy. It
took almost forty years before someone involved in the study took
a hard and honest look at the end results, reporting that nothing
learned will prevent, find, or cure a single case of infectious

as this may sound, at one time the Tuskegee experiment must have
seemed equally farfetched. Who could imagine the government, all
the way up to the Surgeon General of the United States,
deliberately allowing a group of its citizens to die from a terrible
disease for the sake of an ill-conceived experiment?
In light of this and many other shameful episodes in history,
African Americans' widespread mistrust of the government and
white society in general should not be a surprise to anyone.
